Something has been bugging me for the past few weeks.
In Islam, Iblis is the devil; Satan himself. Iblis was an angel before he disobeyed God. But, angels have no freewill. Therefore, if Iblis was an angel and an angel does not have freewill, how was it possible for Iblis to disobey God in the first place?

Iblis was a jinn which has free will like human beings, but because of its initial piety prayed with the angels. Ultimately however even evil comes from God, and only God can save his creatures from the evil of his creatures.
